Civil Appeal No.3844 of 2011 (Arising out of SLP(C) No.27814 of 2008)

The Joint Action Committee of Airlines

Pilots Associations of India & Ors. ...Appellants

Versus

The Director General of

Civil Aviation & Ors. ...Respondents

***...It is a settled legal proposition that the authority which has been conferred with the competence under the statute alone can pass the order. No other person, even a superior authority, can interfere with the functioning of the Statutory Authority. In a democratic set up like ours, persons occupying key positions are not supposed to mortgage their discretion, volition and decision making authority and be prepared to give way to carry out commands having no sanctity in law. Thus, if any decision is taken by a statutory authority at the behest or on suggestion of a person who has no statutory role to play, the same would be patently illegal. (Vide: The Purtabpur Co., Ltd. v. Cane Commissioner of Bihar & Ors., AIR 1970 SC 1896; Chandrika Jha v. State of Bihar & Ors., AIR 1984 SC 322; Tarlochan Dev Sharma v. State of Punjab & Ors., AIR 2001 SC 2524; and Manohar Lal (D) by L.Rs. v. Ugrasen (D) by L.Rs. & Ors., AIR 2010 SC 2210).

27.Similar view has been re-iterated by this Court in Commissioner of Police, Bombay v. Gordhandas Bhanji, AIR 1952 SC 16; Bahadursinh Lakhubhai Gohil v. Jagdishbhai M. Kamalia & Ors., AIR 2004 SC 1159; and Pancham Chand & Ors. v. State of Himachal Pradesh & Ors., AIR 2008 SC 1888, observing that an authority vested with the power to act under the statute alone should exercise its discretion following the procedure prescribed therein and interference on the part of any authority upon whom the statute does not confer any jurisdiction, is wholly unwarranted in law. It violates the Constitutional scheme.
